Emory New Grad Residency

hopefulnurse11 · Aug 25, 2011

All I remember is having to recall situations I have been in while working on the unit at my previous job. Mine were all situational. What would you do in this situation? Tell me about a time when? Etc. Good Luck!!!

Thanks hopefulnurse. Good luck on your interview kpxqtx619. I used the experience which I got from the floor I've been on to answered those Qs. Best wishes to all new grads.

Hey everyone!

I'm a 3rd Semester BSN Student at MUSC in Charleston, SC. I will be graduating in May and have my eyes set on inner city Atlanta for a New grad nurse residency. That being said, can anyone tell me about the admissions process. I've reviewed their website several times and I know about Spring/Fall start times. However, what are applicants and recent new grads. doing to supplement the wait time? If I finish in May 2012 and pass boards, obtain multi-state license, I will have the whole summer without pay waiting for a spot in September? Has anyone faced a similar situation? I would appreciate any advice or guidance you all may have :-)

THANK YOU!

I am one of the lucky Emory Resident nurses, as well. I actually graduated December 2010 and, due to paperwork issues, didn't receive my license in time to meet the deadline for the earlier residency program. I worked on a contract basis for a home health agency while I waited for the program to start. In June, they were bought out by another company and they wanted me to sign a one-year contract. Since I wasn't willing to do that, they said they couldn't use me anymore. I went without a paycheck until I began the program September 12 (the day before my birthday, so it was a great gift!). It was hard, but it was definitely worth it. I did my senior practicum at Emory and was hired to work in the unit (MICU) where I did my hours. I think doing my clinical there, and networking during this time, helped me get in more than anything; but there are several resident nurses who never did any clinical there and had no affiliation with Emory at all. I know several came from out of state schools, as well.

For the admission process, just bookmark the New Grad page on the Emory website and start watching for the application link to appear. If there are specific areas you're interested in, make that information known, but also make sure they know you're open to other areas as well. If you can make a visit to the area, try and attend any open houses they have (even if they are only for experienced nurses) so you can meet some of the unit managers and get your face/name in their head. You are at a bit of a disadvantage since you are not an Emory grad (I wasn't either) since they give first consideration to Emory grads who received the NEAT scholarship (they pay for a % of their tuition in exchange for employment after graduation), but one advantage is that Emory is a large entity and has several hospitals in the Atlanta area. Our residency class is the largest so far. I think there were about 80 of us in orientation (mostly going to EUHM and EUH).

Good luck. I love my unit and I'm thrilled to be here.

do you know where we can get information about the NEAT scholarship?? I cannot seem to find anything on it

melby · Oct 13, 2011

The NEAT scholarship is offered to Emory Nursing students. Here's a link to their 2010 - 2011 catalog. They also participate in the CHANCES program (the similar program for CHOA). The NEAT program info is on page 22. You could get more information by calling the school of nursing. They also host several open houses at the school of nursing. They're free to attend, but you need to register, as seating is limited. I ruled Emory out due to the high cost, but several grads I work with stated the school will work hard to help you fund your education there.

Good luck. I hope the link is helpful to you.
